I loved Ashley’s shade too “ok you can participate as long as you don’t make it all about you.” 

Ugh remember the "dance" she and Todd performed?

Sarah is a shitty mom for allowing that kind of mess around her girls. This is a man that can't be bothered to wake up to an alarm for rights to the kids. Girl, your life choices are going to ruin your pretty girls. They will follow in your tacky ass blacent footsteps, chasing the hood life adjacent. 

I used to think she was a good mom but not anymore. She lost the right to complain, she wants Mumbles in her life and is willing to put up with this crap at the expense of her kids.  I also hated the way they kept flinging the baby back and forth like she was a basketball.  Put the kid to bed she doesn't need to be awake for this. 

Lacey so you think it's a lot of work taking care of kids while your husband works and supports all of you? I think you're pretty lucky, a lot of women work pregnant and take care of their kids by themselves.  Lots of Chon tonight.  He talks about how Lacey always comes back to him but he can't seem to detach himself from her either.  In other news Chane is a "woof".

Brittnay and Marcelino just annoyed me and I ffwed through their segment.  I'm tired of seeing their nice house and big backyard while I'm trying to get by after losing my job to covid.  (rant over)

That whole lemonade stand idea seemed like it was suggested by production to give them something worth filming.  Andrea sucks.  Oooo next week she gets mad at Lamar!!! That's never happened before. 🙄

The Lindsey show was meh.  Scott's a lying douchebag is anyone surprised?  He never seemed like he really had money starting with his declined credit card in the first episode.  I'm not surprised he was seeing escorts, neither is Lindsey she's just mad the money went to them and not her.  And that bullshit about her being in love with him for two years is just that, bullshit.  The only thing she was in love with was the money she thought he had.

I never cared much for Ryan, but damn, when he blew on the glass, drew a heart in the steam, waved, and then walked away with that Cheshire cat smile on his face, I think I sort of loved him in that moment.  😂

 

That smile was one of the few genuine moments on this show and I loved it.

BTW, anybody else notice that Ryan appeared to have a pretty big grin on his face as he walked away from that interaction?  It was for all the world the look of a man who had just earned his TLC paycheck and never had to look back.  

And she literally handed him a check through the door.  She mumbled something about him "getting paid".  That grin was telling.

I don't know about the rest of the episode but I'm pretty sure in her TH's she's wearing a full on wig. You can't even see the part in her hair and it looks really fake all around the hairline. 

Yea I thought it looked kind of fake too.   This episode was one long boring pity party.  Buddy seems to be doing better, he's more coherent and looks like he lost some weight.  Twit's a mess and her constant need for people to do things for her bothers me.  I guess it was nice that her friends drove 3 hours so they could drive around her house to wish her a happy birthday.  Not that she would ever return the favor.   I see next week is more of the same with a surprise visit from Lenny of all people, wow that has to be real and not scripted at all right?

It sucks. I watch tv to escape for a little while.  Every reality show I'm watching now has the cast talking about covid.  I don't want to relive the beginning again.

Months of quarantine? On the last episode we were only into the first few days of quarantine.  Guess there was nothing worth documenting for all that time.

Amber needs to get away from her mother point blank period. The woman is toxic and will just end up putting her back in jail..

I can't believe what she was saying to Amber.  One minute she's sorry Amber had to go to jail the next minute she's encouraging her to continue with the plan. 

Not only was Quaylon's family's clothes color coordinated, their food was all yellow.  Thrown in a green vegetable or salad.  I really hate the extra long eyelashes his sister was wearing they look ugly and uncomfortable. 

Shawn is either poorly written or incredibly stupid.  There is no way he didn't think to look for Destiny on social media before this. 

Spoiler

I'm glad Destiny's back in jail, she deserves to be there. 

I kine of feel like Brittany enjoys embarrassing her mother on tv because she has a lot of anger towards her.

Michael is a moron, I can't believe he's trying to act like he shouldn't have to suffer for sleeping through court.  If he loved his kids as much as he says he would have made sure he was there.

Virtual hugs, @SevenCostanza, because the same thing happened to me.  The small company I had been working at for 4 years couldn't outlast the lockdown in NYC and went under.  I feel very blessed by the goddesses that I was able to find another position with another company that even pays a little bit better and that I enjoy.  I do hope you were able to find something.  ❤️  

Thank you Persnickety1 I'm glad you were able to find something better.  I haven't found anything , but my husband and daughter are still working so we're not doing as badly as others are (yet).   I feel for Heather and Ashley too, it's hard being a mom to little kids and do your job at the same time, not to mention trying to home school when it's something you've never done before.  God forbid Twit offer some sympathy to them once in awhile.  I'd also like to say I enjoy hearing Ryan tell her the truth, she needs that more often.

[S08.E05: Champagne Wishes and Caviar Screams]

I'm in the minority that I'm kind of enjoying a more boring season.  I don't mind taking a break from the drunken fights, that's the main reason I gave up on the Housewives shows.  Wow Izzy is such a better worker as a deck hand, I'm glad she got to do what she likes.  I'm still not 100% on everyone's names but that 2nd stew either needs better direction or another job because she's way too slow and disorganized.   I'd rather see the drama come from the guests and wish we could see more beautiful location shots.   I like how Rachel had cheese and charcuterie plates ready as soon as the guests came onboard, I'm not sure why some of the other chefs find that such a hard concept.   Will Sunshine get the boot next week?  It's never a good thing when Captain Lee asks you to come talk to him.

[S08.E04: Safer at Home]

I just watched what I could, I had to scan through a lot of Twit talking to the camera.  I don't want to watch Whitney and company going through quarantine day by day.  Listening to her go on about how scared she is and blah blah blah is pissing me off.  So many people have it so much worse  I can't believe we're supposed to feel bad for her.   I lost my job 8 months ago and at the age of 59 it's not exactly easy to find another one, especially with everyone else looking too.  People are losing their homes and she's whining about some make believe relationship.    Also that outift she had on to do that "workout" was hideous.  White leggings with her gross stretch mark covered stomach exposed was not a good look.

I'm  a former  fitness instructor and certified personal trainer.  Whitney would need to step it up about 6 notches before it would qualify as  merely  "lame."

From the little I saw  Jessica seems to be doing all the work.  Twit mainly stands around and comments, once in awhile she does a few modified reps, nothing to break a sweat of course or burn any calories.

Anyone else thinking she's hiding about a 40-pound weight gain under that blue blanket she's swathed in?  

It does seem a little odd for her to be all wrapped up like that.  She's always complaining how hot she is and taking things off not covering up.

I would really appreciate seeing a clip of the the professional dancer at the clerb looking matronly and devoid of rhythm.

Thanks and, Happy Thanksgiving!

And does any woman look her best with her hair skinned up into a bun on the very top of her head?  Looks like an onion to me.

This made me laugh.  I don't think it's a good look either, it makes her head look small which kind of emphasizes the rest of her.

Judging by the way she looked sitting on that couch with her mom, her weight is at an all time high.

I was thinking she looks bigger too. I think she's been exercising a lot less.  I noticed it when she was in the car constantly playing with her hair, talk about annoying.

All kinds of stupidness happening on the show and all kinds of stupidness happening on her SM too.  What does she mean she doesn’t have the time, energy, or space to be prepared with a tampon or pad in case she gets her period unexpectedly.  These last 40 years of having a period I must have been doing it wrong. I had no idea it was so time and space consuming or so exhausting to prepare for.

I think just getting out of bed everyday is exhausting for her.  Those menstrual cups are before my time so I've no idea how they work, but looking at that little cup and remembering some of my heavy days I kind of doubt it would have given me much protection.  I could be wrong I've never used one maybe someone that has can let me know.

[S08.E03: Slipping Through My Fingers]

Just finished watching this nonsense.  First the good, Wilmington looks like a really nice place to live, I love being near the beach. I bet the seafood is excellent.

I agree with everyone that thinks Twit knew about Chase's girlfriend by this time.  She's barely cordial to him  and in the scene at the clurb 🙄 with Babs she seemed like she was really pissed off.  I guess TLC thinks we're all stupid because I've never seen her be less attracted to someone than Chase.  Any other time there was a "romance" she acted very different, with Chase it's like she can barely tolerate him and can't wait to leave.

The storyline is beyond ridiculous. Whitney's "thriving" business, as her father said is such a joke.  It demands so much of her time that she can't move in with her dream boy who has two jobs and could easily support her.  If this relationship was real she'd have moved in a heartbeat.  The ring scene was so stupid.  Chase could barely pretend to care.  Amazing how once it disappeared on the show it also disappeared in her talking head interviews.

The beginning of the  caronar as Twit calls it is the only real thing on this shitshow and who the hell wants to relive that?

I felt bad for the chef, she busted her chef ass creating really good food for them and many times it is the food that tips the tip scale.

That group seemed like they really didn't care about how hard anyone was working on that boat.  Just a bunch of rich kids spending Daddy's money.   I felt bad for Rachel when she was grilling and Francesca didn't even bother to let her know that the guests were eating in another area.   Francesca seems to have communication problems, I think that's why the stews seem so overwhelmed at times.

Interesting that Captian Lee didn't say how much the total tip was he said they left us $1000 each. I don't know how many shared in the tio so I couldn't figure out the total tip. It was like he was told not to say the amount because it was so "small."  Seems like waiting on people for 2 days and cleaning their cabins and getting  a $1000 tip is pretty nice. 

I thought he said they left $12,000, which was less than half of what the jack ass group before them left.  That's the smallest tip I've seen on this show.  At least this group was less demanding and like others said I think they would have just enjoyed hanging on the boat in the jacuzzi.   

So far this season is pretty dull.  The running theme  seems to be how inept the cast is at their jobs.  Yawn.

I'm turning 54 this year and I can also testify that weight comes off a lot more slowly than it did when I was in my 20s and 30s. I apparently have the metabolism of a lethargic Galapagos tortoise no matter how much activity I squeeze in. 

It's rather sad that for Whitney, she's probably in the best shape that she's ever going to be and this is her best last chance to really be able to lose weight to a significant agree. It's only going to be downhill from here and once her body really starts to give her problems (like her knees going out on her), she's going to have a serious problem. She is definitely the kind that can become bedbound if she's not careful.

Absolutely. I've also discovered that you heal at a much slower rate as you age.  It's much harder to just bounce back like you could in your 20's.   Twit's already had knee problems, all she needs is an injury from one of  her "challenges".  That would be the beginning of the end for her, next stop "My 600 pound life".  

[S03.E19: Life After Lockup: Up in Old Flames]

That was a lot of show and they didn't get to Vince/Amber/Puppy yet.  I'm thinking they only have a little footage like Heather/Dylan. 

Anyway, what the hell was up with the Shovel/Quaalude scenes ?  Every shot looked like it was filmed on a different day.  Shovel's hair, weight and location kept changing.  First she's throwing clothes out the window of a house, kicking off her shoes and sitting in the driveway.  Then later they're fighting at some apartment complex.  The producer's must think we're morons because you can plainly see that Shovel and Quaalude's hair both drastically change right in the middle of the scene!  Who needs continuity, am I right?

So Destiny is on the run but she made sure a camera crew was with her to film her journey.  I sure hope she doesn't have another eggatopic pregnancy. 

I would have been really mad if my husband smashed my birthday cake in my hair too.  But Brittnay $130 to have someone wash your hair, really?  Maybe hold on to some of your LAL money, this ride isn't going to last forever. 

Lindsey and Scott, meh.  She tries to hard to be cute and she isn't.  I'm not seeing model material from her unless it's something kind of sleazy.

I can't sit through anymore of Lacey and Shane, I find them really gross and the last thing they need is more kids to ignore. 

Lamar and Andrea, I feel like they're starting to recycle storylines because they have nothing else.  Not really interested in Andrea having one of her tantrums and throwing something at him again. 

Michael and Sarah, I could only watch a few minutes of them too, it's just the same crap over and over.

"After I won the 2nd place metal at the weight lifting championship"

Wait, the competition where she placed second out of 2 people? Why does she constantly bring that up like it's a huge accomplishment?

Every time she says this I want to scream.  You got a freaking participation trophy, 2nd out of 2 is not a win.  1st place is a win, deal with it.

It struck me when I was watching that the only real thing on this show is the pandemic. 

So Twit wants her "fiance" to move 3 hours away from his two jobs to do what?  Hang out at the townhouse 24/7?  I find it hard to believe she wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with him if this was real.

why would he want his image so compromised -especially since he's in the hospitality business?

Chase doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed.  He and Ryan probably discussed the idea over many beers and by the end of the night it sounded like an easy way to make some cash so he agreed.
